The It Gets Better Project is a response to a number of students taking their own lives after being bullied in school, the project’s creators wanted to create a personal way for supporters everywhere to tell LGBT youth that, yes, it does indeed get better.
NMC Student Life and NMC Pride is inviting students, faculty and staff to participate in an It Gets Better video. The video will take place in the Student Life Office, lower level of West Hall, and Emily Magner will be project editor. Anyone interested can contact Stephen Krygier at skrygier@nmc.edu or call 231-709-0971 to set a taping appointment.
ItGetsBetter.org, the official web site where the video will be posted, and on select NMC web pages, is a place where young people who are lesbian, gay, bi, or trans can see how love and happiness can be a reality in their future. It’s a place where straight allies can visit and support their friends and family members. It’s a place where people can share their stories, take the It Gets Better Project pledge and watch videos of love and support.
Student Life and NMC Pride is looking for anyone in support of the LGBT community and who is willing to share their own personal stories.
Please call Emily Magner for more information, 995-1118.
